Observatie

Observatie is de kern van ieder wetenschappelijk onderzoek, en de hulpmiddelen hiervoor worden steeds geavanceerder. Een glimmend zwart gevaarte met een blauw rokje aan. Galatea, de robotrog die door studenten Luchtvaart- en Ruimtevaarttechniek is ontwikkeld, speurt op de zeebodem naar gespuis als blauwalgen, of terroristen. De robotrog kan daarmee bijvoorbeeld helpen om havens te beveiligen. [...]

Just Add Water

Absurdist comedy that is sometimes endearing and mostly absurdist. Has funny moments, but lacks drive.

Dan in Real Life

Little more than a vehicle for Steve Carell to be Steve Carell.

The indignity of old age and dying is mixed with the reunion of two estranged siblings. The script is not very good, but the play of acting legends Linney and Hoffman make the movie watchable and sometimes endearing.

Suburban Girl

Liked the calm pace of the movie. Even though the story misses a solid backbone, the natural acting and chemistry between Gellar and Baldwin makes it watchable.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

A strong stomach is required with all the gushing of blood, but definitely well worth a watch.

Semi-Pro

Bored me to tears. Not funny if you don’t like basketball, not funny if you don’t like Ferrell, not funny if you…it’s just not funny, period.
